Finished the Mike Campbell memoir. I dug it. I don’t care for the post- Stan lynch era heartbreakers and this book didn’t really change that.

I think my updates are done for tonight from the UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville that has killed at least 3 and likely more. Here's our current story, which is likely to change by the morning once more official information comes out.
Multiple dead and injured in UPS plane crash near Louisville airport
Beshear says the UPS plane was bound for Hawaii and contained 220,000 pounds of jet fuel. A shelter in place remains in effect for parts of Louisville.
